C.L.O.C.A. adopted the Bowman- ville Harbour Conservation Area master plan at a meeting on September September 24th. The plan for the area, which encompasses 170 acres south of Bowmanville to Lake Ontario, proposes "passive recreational uses, for both summer and winter activities". Such recreational uses would include: include: beach and picnic facilities, hiking trails, fishing areas, and fa cilities for studying the abundant wildlife in the wetlands. The cost of the completed plan is roughly estimated at $3,732,500 and most of that sum.is designated for the puchase of land. Timing for the development is dependent dependent upon land acquisition. Only one half of the area is at this point owned by the conservation authority, and the acquisition prpg- ram for the remaining land is scheduled over a number of years. After providing for the protection and conservation of the natural resources resources in the area, an important objective of the plan is to "develop and maintain an attractive beach facility on the shoreline". Specifically, the road currently used to access the beach will be reconstructed reconstructed closer to the beach to provide a larger buffer between the recreational beach and the marsh. A paved parking lot will serve the area which will include a playground, playground, picnic tables, running water, toilets and changerooms. To facilitate this development the cottages and miscellaneous buildings in the area now will have to be removed. However, the West Beach and surrounding land has not yet been acquired by the conservation conservation authority, so it could be quite a while before those residing in the area have to move out. 35* Per Copy 623-3303 Issue 40 44 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1985 131st Year One Killed, Four Injured in Highway 2 Accident ■ , ùm .\ut< > >V . î .... - > •v jî." *sg *!»■»< --z * ' .. . ., . . t '***<> Michael Lanigan, 20, son of Michael and Irene Lanigan, Newtonville, was killed in an accident on September 29th, on Highway 2 just west of Newtonville.

Metro Landfill Partnership to Continue by Diane Pickett The Region of Durham will continue continue to combine its landfill needs with those of Metro Toronto, and will cooperate with Metro in finding finding a new landfill site within the Region. The new site would be used when the current Brock West operation in Pickering is closed down in 1992. During lengthy debate at the Regional Regional Council meeting on September September 25th, councillors from Pickering Pickering unanimously opposed the Works Department's recommendation recommendation and preferred a second option: that the Region find and develop its own landfill site. Pickering Councillor Norah Stoner has long been an advocate of a Regional landfill site over continued continued collaboration with Metro. While she commended the region's region's efforts to encourage recycling, reduce the volume of waste, and investigate investigate means of obtaining energy from waste, she asked: "Why did we do this and then invite Metro to dump its millions of tonnes of garbage here?" "It's time to take the final step and develop our own landfill," Councillor Stoner added. Her colleague, Councillor Alex Robertson, agreed with Mrs. Stoner's sentiments regarding the "inevitable" location of a dump in Pickering, in proximity to Metro. "The only place that could possibly possibly suit Metro Toronto is Pickering...we Pickering...we have to stop the continuous rape of the Town of Pickering, if rape is defined as indecent assault without consent I can tell you the Town of Pickering does not consent," consent," said Councillor Robertson.

"We just haven't got the dollars and cents from the average taxpayers taxpayers to go without a partner," said Councillor McArthur. "If we try to go alone, we're in big trouble," agreed Councillor Aker, "not to mention we can't afford it, but politically...when it comes to site location the war will go on in this council chamber for years."
